| Released in 1991, the Nike Air 180 upped the ante with its longer tongue and fully visible Air unit. Once again Tinker Hatfield had created a winner. The Air 180 has recently been re-introduced with considerable success. In spring 1991, the Nike Air 180 was released. This revolutionary shoe contained fifty per cent more air than previous Air Max models. Nike went one step further by displaying this technology though a visible protective outsole. This Air 180 was only around for a year, even though Nike supported its launch with a huge TV advertise campaign involving high profile filmmakers and directors.During 1991-92, a variety of colourways were produced. The most desirable colours out there are the original men’s colour and the Europe-only women’s white / crimson / magenta (pictured). The Olympic Air Force 180 is regarded as the best Air 180 shoe ever. |
